Speaker: Ms. Amina Shaibu

June 6th, 2025.

It was an interesting eye opening session with Amina Shaibu as she dissected the common myths in our society as it bothers on mental health in our society.

From making us understand that mental health is not madness tackling the angle of aligning mental health to spiritual attacks and ignoring the aspect of contacting a professional health care giver to carry out vital tests on the individual involved.

* Mental illness is not spiritual attacks neither is it a curse. What the person needs is proper check and care from a professional.

* You don’t need to over rule the fact that drug overdose or abuse can lead to mental breakdown which requires a specialist to diagnose and keep the person in check.

With the right attitude, environment and loved ones, mental health breakdown would be very easy to handle.
